To (ZZZ "whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALFRED Knntrz, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Brookiyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Lining for Hats, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

' Among the principal objects which the present invention has in view are: to provide a lining of the character mentioned having incorporated between the side piece and crown piece thereof, an exposed cord: to provide means for holding said cord in service relation; and to provide means for concealing the raw edges of said cord.

The trade to which the present invention relates requiresthat a hatloe provided with a lining having a central or crown piece 11, a side piece 12, and a cord-llke memlietween the her 13 sewed in the seam between the crown piece andside piece. Heretoiore this has been supplied by covering a cord, the covering matcriai having? a narrow edge which is sewed or otherwise close to the cord and. at the side This proved objectionable in reason of the covering f of its characteristic nppe: in the present inven' cord 13 is employed, w tween the crown piece ii and t 12 by the stitching forming 1K 4. ing tlierethrough.

When employing a sewing ni chine for making the improved lin'i a specioi at tnchnient is provided for fee the crown member, side member and the cord mem; ber 13.

In Fig. 6 of the drawings, anicdified form of the invention is s" vn, the modification consisting in pr 7 ing the cord 13 with a strip of inateriai folded upon itself to form edges M which may be placed between the edges of the crown piece and the side piece, as shown bestin Fig, 5 the drawings, to more securely held. the cord in its service position.

As viewed when in service, the lining presents a neat and finished appearance wherein the flat crown piece and full side piece are apparently joined by the cord 13, the same resting in the seam between the said crown and side pieces.
